I Love The Lord Poem by Gerry Legister

I've been hurt many times before
but I can't stop myself from wanting to be
A person in need of care
I don't know where destiny will lead me.

I just want to go there
Where I am loved most,
and be held close to my savior,
where all is gain and nothing is lost.

Why is that so difficult?
Have I such a great need?
I know it is the spiritual path
without the avenue of greed.

It is just that I love the Lord
and my heart overflow
with joy from his word
hope has come with a heavenly glow.

It can't be sold and it can't be bought
I have a need to give it away
To someone special in my heart,
who will treasure what I say.

I may not be here when it happened
I do not know where I will be
But I know I have a friend
Who will come and take me to my destiny.

Let others rewrite the times that is running out
For I am no longer young, I am old
Where will I go when I am worn out
and my soul is gone from this world.

The only one who will love me
right from the start
he is the one I will connect with in eternity
my heart to his heart.

The one who died for me
His name is Jesus
he paid more than what I could afford to pay,
I love the Lord Jesus.
